    ottogal,

    Thanks so much! Using ditto worked like a charm (no idea why I was so stuck on using wayfinder). The only thing missing from your ditto call was the ’startID’ parameter, but everything else worked perfectly.

    Thanks again.

      the startID parameter has been deprecated for years; use &parents instead.

        Some remarks:

        (1) In the Ditto call I meant &sortDir=`ASC` instead of &sortBy=`ASC`.
        It worked anyway, because you can also write &sortBy=`published ASC`, and omitting published Ditto obviously just defaults to createdon.

        (2) If you would like the output be ordered by the menuindex, you have to choose its values carefully in the sub-containers. Controlling by the client users is not easy in that case.

            In this thread mrhaw posted the link http://www.pogwatch.com/ditto/ditto-sort.html which pointed me to the fact that in Ditto 2.1 you should use &orderBy instead of &sortBy and &sortDir (f.e. &orderBy=`menuindex ASC` - the default value is &orderBy=`createdon DESC` ).

              I found a way to do this in Revolution 2.1.5-pl with Wayfinder 2.3.3 generating my breadcrumbs (this would apply similarly for non-breadcrumb usage too). Basically you need a Wayfinder call with ignoreHidden set and then check for hidemenu in your template:

              [[!Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &config=`breadcrumb` &ignoreHidden=`TRUE` &scheme=`full`]]


              Then in core/components/wayfinder/configs, you will have a breadcrumb.config.php that looks like this:

              <?php

$hideSubMenus = 1;

if ($modx->getOption('site_start') == $modx->resource->get('id')) {
	$homeLink = '';
} else {
	$homeLink = "<li><a href=\"{$modx->getOption('site_url')}\" title=\"home\">home</a> ></li>";
}

$outerTpl = "@CODE:<ul>
	{$homeLink}[[+wf.wrapper]]
</ul>";

$innerTpl = '@CODE:[[+wf.wrapper]]';

$rowTpl = '@CODE: ';

$activeParentRowTpl = '@CODE:[[+wf.hidemenu:equalto=`1`:then=`[[+wf.wrapper]]`:else=`<li><a href="[[+wf.link]]" title="[[+wf.title]]">[[+wf.linktext]]</a> > [[+wf.wrapper]]</li>`]]';

$hereTpl = '@CODE:<li>[[+wf.linktext]]</li>';


              Cheers!
